Stephen Fung took center stage in one of the most anticipated web 3.0 events in New York.
(NEW YORK, 20 July 2022) For any venture to thrive, having a solid support group is essential. This is especially true in the NFT space, where the success of a project hinges on the community’s turnout. In fact, the most prominent initiatives are those that focus on providing people with exceptional utilities. When it comes to ensuring that token holders will have an unforgettable experience, the Departed Apes NFT stands out.
It is a collection of 8,027 non-fungible tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, which showcases captivating designs. The development of each artwork is supervised and directed by one of the most talented comic artists in the world, Logan Lubera, who gained global renown for his incredible work as a Marvel cover artist.
The Departed Apes NFT is the first project from Grid6 Studios. It is an innovative joint enterprise by entertainment authority Media Asia Group and digital assets giant Everest Venture Group. Alongside these two powerhouses is Stephen Fung, known for his work in Enter The Phoenix, a 2004 film and The Adventurers, released in 2016.
The famous actor and Netflix director serves as Grid6 Studios’ figurehead. The co-founder recently appeared on this year’s iteration of NFT.NYC, where he talked about the studio’s upcoming collection. “Revealing an NFT reminds me of opening a new toy on Christmas. Okay, I may be able to do this; I’m in the business of evoking emotions.”
On top of that, the visionary proudly discussed one of the project’s top priorities: community-building. He insightfully explained, “Our community is essential to us; we want to build a platform where aspiring directors, producers, writers, actors, critics or movie fans would love. They can take part in a future milestone – Departed Apes animation feature. We will also begin by holding AMAs (Ask Me Anything) with accomplished guest speakers from all over the world.”
As a testament to the enterprise’s commitment to this promise, it has organized an after-party in Manhattan where the famous Asian actor, director, and producer Daniel Wu attended as one of the speakers.
Ultimately, Grid6 Studios aims to create a groundbreaking brand where Hollywood meets Web3.0. So to realize this remarkable vision, the Departed Apes collection comes with tons of utilities and exciting features, including a film IP crossover, the first of its kind in the NFT space. This alone is an excellent demonstration of the venture’s dedication to innovation.
But, of course, Grid6 Studios does not stop there. It has also developed immersive lore for its genesis collection set in the parallel universe of the internationally acclaimed crime thriller Infernal Affairs. Its compelling narrative puts cops, gangsters, and undercovers in a one-of-a-kind environment where each character’s true identity is waiting to be revealed.
With such well-thought-out inclusions and utilities, the Departed Apes collection is gearing up as one of the most anticipated ventures in the NFT space. In fact, NFT collectors and enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting its impending release. In the meantime, interested parties can stay updated through the project’s dedicated Discord server as well as its Twitter and Instagram accounts.
